Amazing organizers
Outstanding 6-Day Kenya Safari with Axis Africa and Guide Kelvin Mimi
Our family from the USA recently returned from a 6-day safari in Kenya with Axis Africa Safaris, visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli. It was an amazing experience from start to finish, and we came home with memories that will stay with us for years.
A big part of what made the trip so special was our guide, Kelvin Mimi. He was welcoming, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. You could tell he genuinely enjoys what he does. During our game drives, he had an amazing ability to spot wildlife that we would have completely missed on our own. Thanks to his sharp eye and experience, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five along with countless other animals and birds.
What we appreciated most was how much Kelvin shared with us throughout the trip. He explained animal behavior, answered our many questions, and taught us about the different regions we visited. He never seemed rushed and always made sure everyone in the vehicle had a good view before moving on. If we wanted to spend extra time watching an animal or taking photos, he was happy to accommodate us.
Each park offered something different. Masai Mara was incredible for wildlife viewing, Lake Nakuru was beautiful and full of birdlife, Lake Naivasha provided a peaceful change of pace, and Amboseli offered stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro when the weather cooperated. The variety made the trip feel well balanced and interesting from beginning to end.
Axis Africa handled all the arrangements smoothly, and everything went according to plan. We always felt safe, comfortable, and well looked after.
We are grateful to Kelvin and the entire Axis Africa team for making this such a memorable family vacation. If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, we would gladly recommend both Axis Africa Safaris and Kelvin Mimi. Thank you for helping create such special memories for Naren’s family.

Great safari and great views
We did they 6 day Safari and it was a great experience. This was my first safari and it exceeded all the expectations I had. We went to Masai Mara, Naruku, and Amboseli. Our tour guide and driver Kelvin Mimi did an amazing job is showing us the sights and making sure we got the best views of the animals. The accommodation at each place was great as well, especially in Amboseli.

Our tour operators were Cynthia and Peter. They both took care of EVERYTHING needed!
Peter was a great host as he took us places in the park. We even got to see a Lion! Had great knowledge of places in the park and helpful to find certain animals.
Cynthia took care of everything from booking, flowers for my sweetheart, lunch and the Elephant Sanctuary visit.

Our safari guide Amos delivered an absolutely fantastic experience.
He is a calm, skilful and safe driver on rough park roads. Amos is warm, friendly and attentive throughout the whole journey.
He possesses impressive wildlife knowledge and has sharp eyes for spotting animals and birds.
The entire safari exceeded our expectations and felt perfectly arranged. We hope to revisit Kenya someday and highly recommend Amos to all travellers.

Cynthia answered all out question before and during the trip. Friendly and accommodating.
Cynthia was very patient and answered all our questions before and during the trip. Our guides, Jack and Sir Charles, were friendly and knowledgeable about the animals and pointed them out along the way. We stuck with Sir Charles for our trip because he took us to our camp separate from the group every night. He has 16 years experience and it showed. His eagle eyes and connections put us on the hottest spots and his foresight put us in the best position to get great views of animals on the move. While other vehicles lingered for photos he would leave before anyone and put us right next to the action anticipating the animal’s moves before they made them. We had a cheetah and multiple lions pass within a couple feet of our vehicle. One male lion even decided to rest in the shade of our Land Cruiser! We saw the big five, the big nine, and the ugly five. We saw a river crossing where a lion was waiting on the other side for unsuspecting wild-a-beasts! We even saw the elusive rhino and leopard! Every day got better and better thanks to Sir Charles and Jack. Even more impressive was that our masterfully driven Land Cruiser was stick-shift! Asante Sana, Sir Charles!
Axis accommodated 4 of us in our group of 14 that chose cheaper lodging. We opted for the budget accommodations and they were great! We stayed at Wild Nest Mara Camp and our tent came with two beds, a bathroom, and a shower. One day it rained particularly hard causing an electricity broken out. Generator power was on but would shut off after midnight. They approached me knowing I used a Cpap for sleeping. I mentioned I had a battery backup that would last 3 hours so they only shut off generator power for 3 hours. Breakfast, boxed lunch, and dinner were provided for us daily and were a mix of African offerings and tourist-friendly options. Thanks Wild Nest!
Overall, this was a trip of a lifetime that we won’t soon forget. Thanks to everyone at Axis Africa Expeditions & Safaris for such a great experience with family and friends! Highly recommend this great company!
